Get it going!
. Two tanks, running slow, tuning the engine.
Two tanks of "Total Bliss"!
Then
, one screw came out of the spur after 2 runs and it melted.
$10 and a trip to Leichardt. Bet the screws don't come with it, that will be another $4.95. If they have it in stock! Bet it has to be ordered and will take 2 weeks to get it. URGH!
So far i have bought all new wheels and rims, new bearings 3/16 X 3/8 (from North Shore Bearings) Hornsby, fresh fuel, new exhaust coupling, new exhaust manifold, CA glue, 12 X 2500mah AA's with charger and two fuel filters.
I got the header pipe from my LHS, it's not the original but the salesman took all his header pipes of the shelf, took them out of their packets and found a "CEN" type "G70336" with the right bend and screw spacing that fits it better than the original. $43.00!
My LHS is Priceless.
They also helped me with extra long ball connector balls for the rear end, the others were stripped out of the plastic. I got some long enough to go through the mounting point and put a nut on the back.
Cost me about $200+ so far
It was fun! I can't wait till tommorrow so i can get the part and do it again.
I think it will need a gearbox re-build very soon, because there are strange noises comming from it and the right rear A arm is cracked at it's mount point so i will have to get one of those too.
Here is a pic of the exhaust set up and the new rear tyres.
Cheers, Brett.
